# Create an API token for Jira in Atlassian cloud **(FREE)**
You need an API token to [integrate with Jira](index.md)
on Atlassian cloud. To create the API token:
1. Sign in to [Atlassian](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
using an account with *write* access to Jira projects.
The link opens the API tokens page. Alternatively, to go to this page from your Atlassian
profile, select **Account Settings > Security > Create and manage API tokens**.
1. Select **Create API token**.
1. In the dialog, enter a label for your token and select **Create**.
1. To copy the API token, select **Copy**, then paste the token somewhere safe.
You need the newly created token, and the email
address you used when you created it, when you
[configure GitLab](configure.md).
